If you want to have your students write a Research Report rather than do the portfolio series of assignments (as in the syllabus that is included in the Structuring Your Course section of these Instructor Resources), this section might be of use to you. It includes a list of common problems encountered, a list of approaches for students to find material for the research report, a list of URLs for case studies students might use as the basis of their research report, and tips on how to have students use these case studies.
